In following year, she was awarded the Global Award and the Arts Encouragement Prize for Artists of the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture, Japan.
In 1995, Yoshida joined The Royal Ballet as principal dancer and was known for her partnership with such as Tetsuya Kumakawa, and Irek Mukhamedov. She was also appointed UNESCO Artist for Peace in 2001. In 2004, she married Takashi Endo, a Japanese football agent.

Naomi Kawase (河瀨直美, Kawase Naomi?, born May 30, 1969 in Nara, Japan) is a Japanese film director. She was also known as Naomi Sento ( 仙頭直美 , Sentō Naomi?), with her then-husband's surname. Many of her works have been documentaries, including Embracing, about her search for the father who abandoned her as a child, and Katatsumori, about the grandmother who raised her.
Growing up in the rural region of Nara, Kawase's parents split early on in her childhood leaving her to be raised by her great-aunt, with whom she held a combative, yet loving, relationship. The youth she spent in Nara has had a drastic effect on her career. Many of her first forays into filmmaking were autobiographical, inspired heavily by the rural landscape. She originally attended the Osaka School of Photography to study television production and later became interested in film, deciding to switch her focus.
After graduating in 1989 from the Osaka School of Photography (Ōsaka Shashin Senmon Gakkō) (now Visual Arts College Osaka), where she was a student of Shunji Dodo, she spent an additional four years there as a lecturer before releasing Embracing. Employing her interest in autobiography, most of her first short films focus on her turbulent family history, including her abandonment and her father's death. She became the youngest winner of the la Caméra d'Or award (best new director) at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival for her first 35mm film, Suzaku. She novelized her films Suzaku and Firefly.
Facing the helpless, was the vulture of the throne (x2)
Sent from a time where everything turns black
You never care if its right or wrong
Your permission will turn to lack
Bring back those haunted years
In a second you are gone after all those years
I've perished and nothing remains the same
You better believe it
Put your trust in endless pain
You're trembling, defending the vulture of the throne
Obey your disease, it destroys your needs
Watch out for the careless mind
As it cuts and you bleed
Mortal innocence, no intelligence
Dividing the throne as you fall
Fading self defense, ruthless arrogance
Dividing the throne as you fall
Walking back there alone
And you feel so relentless
Make your way to the throne
As you're facing the helpless
Sum it up with a mind control
Such a vicious disease
Shut it out, shut it out
The desire is there as you bleed
Lean back and face your fears
In a second they are gone after all those years
Nobody can change my mind
Nobody can ever deny
My mind is clear
My mind is clear
Walking back there alone
And you feel so relentless
Make your way to the throne
I gotta realise it, I gotta make it through
And when I turn the pages
I can see through you
I try to get the pace up
But you just slow me down
It all just seems so fatal
We're stuck in a soundtrack with no sound
I wanna tell you something
Cause my time just reflects
Don't you know that I've been walking
The path that rejects
I'm never alone
And I never repent
I feel like a brick in the wall
I wanna tell you something
I wanna catch my breath
The path that I've been walking
Was always put to the test
We live two separate lives
Alien to each other
Blown out of proportion
Bursting out in disguise
I wanna tell you something
Cause my time just reflects
Don't you know that I've been walking
The path that rejects
I'm never alone
And I never repent
I feel like a brick in the wall
Gotta make it fine
But you know that
I'm a different kind
Won't you close the door
Cause you don't feel at all
I'm leaving now
I wanna tell you something
Cause my time just reflects
Don't you know that I've been walking
The path that rejects
I'm never alone
And I never repent
Cold, black heart attack
Everyone just seems to be turning black
Who needs a soul, who needs it all
I see a brilliant solution
No time to believe it or not
You gotta live and just stop to rot
Confirmation, for the nation
I'm gonna tell you what it's all about
I'm on my way! (x2)
Stand tall and just make a change
Stand tall and just generate
You'll kill it all, you'll never fall
Fuck it up just right
Cold, black heart attack
Everyone just seems to be turning black
Who needs a soul, who needs it all
I see a brilliant solution
I'm on my way! (x3) to face my pain
Nothing to report today (x3)
I'm on my way! (x3) to face my pain
Now that you have shut the doors again
Feel how all of the sins are being washed away
Nothing but a loser, a senseless cruiser
Of insanity I am
Nothing but a loser, just spread the name
An exceptional abuser, cause you're all the same
Cause I am, (forever damned) cause I can't understand
Why you're so desperately haunting me
Nothing but a loser, just spread the name
This life is going way out of hand
Inside you feel the ever-growing mortal stand
Nothing but a deathwish, a smile with a deathwish
Sets the light of the day
Nothing but a loser, just spread the name
An exceptional abuser, cause you're all the same
'cause I am (forever damned) 'cause I can't understand
Why you're so desperately haunting me
Nothing but a loser, just spread the name
Nothing but a loser, just spread the name
An exceptional abuser, cause you're all the same (forever damned)
Cause I am, cause I can't understand
Why you're so desperately haunting me
I know, I know
If you take me away from the cold
Like gold, you're sold
They are selling your mind don't you know
Give it away as you pray
Take it away if you may (x2)
I know, I know
If you take me away from the cold
Like gold, you're sold
They are selling your mind don't you know
And then I hit the ground
It slowly kills the sound
Like a choking ricochet
The fires are burning
Reflections, directions
Take the moments away
Give it away as you pray
Take it away if you may (x2)
I know, I know
If you take me away from the cold
Like gold, you're sold
They are selling your mind don't you know
And then I hit the ground
It slowly kills the sound
Like a choking ricochet
The fires are burning
It's deeper than you will ever know
It's just as close to the bone
From all the people that will never show
There's a darkened cloud (x2)
Hanging over you
Constant lacking
Of a restless belief
Constantly clashing
You'll never cease the day
No function, cause it's so wrong
The facts you constantly repeat
It's all fiction, my affliction
All you'll do is just deceive
Give it away as you pray
Take it away if you may (x2)
I know, I know
If you take me away from the cold
Like gold, you're sold
They are selling your mind don't you know (x2)
Give it away as you pray
Of all the scars I have ever known
This one will hurt the most
Of all the doors I have opened in my life
This one will remain closed
I can fell it staring at me (staring at me) I can feel it so close
You try to open up the wounds that never heal
You try to ruin my life
All I get is a vicious smile back
As I walk the knife
Low, low can you feel It inside
Slow, slow as you turn the knife
Go, go won't you spoil my life
Low, low I can't predict your lies
Missing in the action, surpassing all the bets
Into satisfaction 'til you make your last breath
There's no way I can go, there's no way I've been told
What still remains and what is next
Lost and eager to find the truth I see
Those demons always try to get a piece of me
I'll be under pressure burning constantly
Mind over matter lives no more inside of me (x2)
Low, low can you feel It inside
Slow, slow as you turn the knife
Go, go won't you spoil my life
Low, low I can't predict your lies
Of all the scars I have ever known
This one will hurt the most
Of all the doors I have opened in my life
This one will remain closed
Low, low can you feel It inside
Slow, slow as you turn the knife
Go, go won't you spoil my life
Low, low I can't predict your lies
Lost and eager to find the truth I see
Those demons always try to get a piece of me
I'll be under pressure burning constantly
What am I, what am I gonna do
Left out again, I've been choking
All those lies, I've left behind
What am I, What am I gonna do
Wreck the hatred that must have shown
All the time that you spent alone
Bury the hatchet and start to speak
Pass the word and it will retreat
It ain't no lies, as far as I know
And I can't find what you are searching for
I'm left alone and I already knew
That you were faking all those times
Wreck the hatred that must have shown
All the time that you spent alone
Bury the hatchet and start to speak
Pass the word and it will retreat
All alone and the clearance have shown
Through the eyes of a broken home
I see my future and present glow (x2)
I got a solution, I'll fire at will
My pride, my constitution will help me get my fill
I decide I will ride, I will break my conscious mind
To the core, even more, now is the time
What am I, What am I gonna do
I've lost a friend
And It's aching!
Wreck the hatred that must have shown
All the time that you spent alone
Bury the hatchet and start to speak
Pass the word and it will retreat (x2)
Five more to fix, then I'll get my kicks
They will lead me astray
Crush my guilt before six
So you won't you take it away
Blackout cause you'll never know
Blackout as you reach the zone
If there's a chance you can get them all
Before you choke
Don't turn around if you've got it all
Don't turn around as you hear the call
If there's a chance, you will let it grow
Before anyone knows
Five more to fix, then I'll get my kicks
They will lead me astray
Crush my guilt before six
All that is left behind
Turn on the light and you'll realize
What is lost and'll be found
Make it right and degenerate
So you will take it away
Blackout cause you'll never know
Blackout as you reach the zone
If there's a chance you can get them all
Before you choke
Don't turn around if you've got it all
Don't turn around as you hear the call
If there's a chance, you will let it grow
Before anyone knows
Cause it's aching, it's breaking
There's something you should know
Cause it's waiting, it's plaguing
There's one more left to go
Blackout cause you'll never know
Blackout as you reach the zone
If there's a chance you can get them all
Before you choke
Don't turn around if you've got it all
Don't turn around as you hear the call
If there's a chance, you will let it grow
In a bitter sense, you're close to arrogance
As a sign of your bitter fall, you fall into trance
Your words, your promises are lost and will never be found
Take a look in the mirror now, cause you can't make a sound
All you could see was already known
The mouths that you feed will be turning the point
Come back and show me the things that I've done
Cause I can't see at all
The truth stands tall in the trust that I've made
Such a mental choking democracy
(The violence within me)
And a collaborating society
Despite your loneliness, you're all going down
Dig a hole in your mindtrap and pretend to be numb
All you could see was already known
The mouths that you feed will be turning the point
Come back and show me the things that I've done
Cause I can't see at all
The truth stands tall in the trust that I've made
Such a mental choking democracy
(The violence within me)
And a collaborating society (x2)
Desperately wanting something (you really never had)
Constantly recharging (the endless battery)
May all those dreams be not in vain
It's there but it's not to take the blame
Such a mental choking democracy
(The violence within me)
And a collaborating society
Since when do we have such a constant greed
(And the public demand chokes the need)
And a collaborating society
Desperately wanting something (you really never had)
Constantly recharging (the endless battery)
May all those dreams be not in vain
Completion makes the tragedy!
Ten times is not enough
You'll suffer 'til the end of time
Imaginations will turn to dust
And break the silenced kind
You reach the spot, you wanna burn
A moment of hypocrisy
You turn cold, you wanna turn
Completion makes the tragedy
Like a sinner on the threshold
You pull the strings out of nowhere
You break the silence
You strike the nerve
Like a serpent that will never let go
Let go!
What makes the tragedy
Speak out, I gotta know
It turns its back on you and grows
What creates the pain I feel
Speak out, I gotta know
Times changed and you will never know
Completion makes the tragedy!
A great loss turn the page
You might as well do it again
A great trap it's all the same
You made it to the deep end
Completion makes the tragedy! (x2)
What makes the tragedy
Speak out, I gotta know
It turns its back on you and grows
What creates the pain I feel
Speak out, I gotta know
Times changed and you will never know
Ten times is not enough
You'll suffer 'til the end of time
Imaginations will turn to dust
And break the silenced kind
You reach the spot, you wanna burn
A moment of hypocrisy
You turn cold, you wanna turn
Completion makes the tragedy
Like a sinner on the threshold
You pull the strings out of nowhere
You break the silence
You strike the nerve
Like a serpent that will never let go
Never let go! Never let go!
Completion makes the tragedy!
What makes the tragedy
Speak out, I gotta know
It turns its back on you and grows
What creates the pain I feel
Speak out, I gotta know
Edges turning, turning in my way
Servants crawling, crawling to the grave
Endless working, working up the pace
Constantly burning, burning with a shade
Edges turning, turning in my way
Servants crawling, crawling to the grave
Restless ego starting up a war
Priceless substance, kills forevermore
Banished if you fail (x3) you will be
Edges turning, turning in my way
Servants crawling, crawling to the grave
Endless working, working up the pace
Constantly burning, burning with a shade
Liquid demons, flowing in the haze
Magic meltdown, taking up your space
Negative thoughts, bringing on the game
Glowing hatred, lighting up the flame
Fill it up with all your rage now
No more time to kill the pain anyhow
Take a chance and make the sirens scream
Take a glance you're going insane
One more trick before your soul dies
No more time to kill the sound anyhow
One more sign before your mind explodes
It's too damn full and you make it blow
Blow your mind to get a break now
No more time to hesitate anyhow
One more trick before your soul dies
It's too damn sick to pay the price
Stretch your power to the end now
No more time to kill the sound anyhow
One more sign before your mind explodes
It's too damn full and you make it blow
It could have been you, you know it's true
It's stabbing the heart of mine (x2)
Running, running
Running away from the past
Reaching, reaching
Reaching out at last
It could have been you, you know it's true
It's stabbing the heart of mine (x2)
Running, running
Running away from the past
Reaching, reaching
Reaching out at last
Blow your mind to get a break now
No more time to hesitate anyhow
One more trick before your soul dies
It's too damn sick to pay the price
Stretch your power to the end now
No more time to kill the sound anyhow
One more sign before your mind explodes
It's too damn full and you make it blow
And you make it blow
So shadows will accompany every step i take
since i sucked up your lies with no regret
some call you the devil, the sin, the beast
you never lost my trail
i can hear you calling my name
in the dark
we are both down here
you are deep inside of me.
the day i have always feared
there is no way out.
lies fill me up like venom
nothing will ever ease the pain
this is damnation
For far too long i have been the bitter one
shame fell on me when all my hope was gone
so i corrode my mind with the hate
that has built up inside for decades
ill walk alone indeed not among
foes but the friends i do not need.
i can see a light before my eyes
what is left for me to sacrifice
give my all
turn away your face from this disgrace
if your blood runs dry
you've left no choice
Reality slapped me in the face
got to give up my dreams by now
reality was like a kick in the teeth
cant afford to loose up for now
when will i realize
truth hits you
every fucking day
evil is actually a part of me.
my mind is spilling excuses
as my thoughts run down the drain
my body is a constant refusal
to the things that you cannot repair
time to wake the bastard in me
time for you to see
It will fucking consume me
there is no space for anything else
the day will come the earth stands still
all of us will admit they've failed
when the ground below will break away
i want to be my own god
but the faith is placed in someone else
thats why we watch the false god raised
this land is watering up in the tempest
my hate goes deep like an ocean
my hate is pure manifestation
and the waters will rise
clouds will darken the horizon
the flood of the oncoming storm
what do you expect of a fallen son
each one of us will get down
and there is nothing in this world
that is built to last
in the middle of this storm
it will crash upon you and me
i am willing to pay the debt
i cant save me from myself
i can at least unleash my wrath
drown the feelings that we dwell
our souls will be punished in hell
the rain is calling in for now
the beginning of a new age
i wish it would rain on me
For 7 years and 7 months
the fear has been asleep
i carried it all deep so inside
like a promise i tried to keep.
for 7 years and 7 months
a sea of pain and disbelief
but to you i must confide
the pain is rising
the fear is swelling
the weight is overwhelming
the soul is disintegrating
do you know who you are
in the end grab all you can
i hear you preaching but i cant
i cant i cant i cant hear a thing
the bones are cracking
the skull is cracking
the skin is ripping
the devil is crawling its way out
Ice under your feet starts to break
it held together my last faith
and with every false thought you make
we get ready for the requiem
theres no hope. theres just sin
a struggle we are enclosed within
this world is falling straight down
the sun burns in your skin
you doubt my loyalty.
i doubt your dignity.
we are even now.
you will pay for my loss
you will pay for every suffer
you will pay the fucking cost
you will pay the fucking cost
integrity!
I am so close sweating my luck all out
when it comes down to this
it drips down in drops so crawl out.
set it aside cause all this pressure is blurring my sight
a struggle within me that forces me to wrap up myself in shrouds
hard luck will die hard!
searching for the light
for too many times
there may be a truth
that i cant seem to find
so i swallowed down my digust.
i cant ?find my peace.
i am so close sweating my luck all out
this is the sacrifice. the price i pay. time is running out
in every second my head is so close to explode
there is something within me thats driving the luck out of me.
who is left to blame
Good and evil
heaven and hell
drifting apart
but meaning well
its a matter
of life and death
burn cold to
find a rest
the scars, the scratches i confess i burned the bridges
the bruises, the pains cant wish them away
gotta keep me alive in this constanct decay
its better to burn cold than to fade away
you have seen me trying (trying)
i was so close to fail
you have heard me lieing (lieing)
i was only lieing in despair
you will never witness my last breath
cause this is a survivors heart
I was spat into this world
with nothing but my faith.
now i spit on the sun and this world
and silently grow up in discontent
a smouldering hatred pushing me forward
this soul is bruised and fucking tortured
martyred
you promised me compassion, i am still alone
you granted me salvation, i am still wounded up to the bone
your name will be cursed
for all eternity
and through all remorse and all regrets
